Actually, the highest payoff was significantly higher than Wishing Ring.

The record would be the $2,922 payoff on Power to Geaux at Aksarben on Dec. 8, 1989.

Power to Geaux offically only went off at 47-to-1 in that race.

Power to Geaux was in a race at the Fair Grounds in Louisiana that was simulcast to Aksarben in Nebraska. The horse paid $96.60 at the Fair Grounds, but only one $2 ticket was bought at Arksarben, which had a separate pool, and one fan took all the money

According to the American Racing Manual, she paid almost $3k.

How is that possible?

Seperate pools for simulcasting.

They would have them all of the time.

Spend A Buck paid like $6 to win the Derby at Delaware Park and like triple that at Pleasanton.

In this instance ... only $2 was bet on the horse at Aksar-ben and they scooped an entire win pool on a race that was being simulcasted from the Fair Grounds.
